<p>A Gender Recognition Certificate is a private, legal document which a person would
not usually be required to produce as a condition of accessing services, in the same
way that a person would not usually be asked to produce their birth certificate. If
evidence of gender is required to access a service, it will normally be possible to
provide it in the form of other documents, for example a driving licence or a passport.</p><p>The
Equality Act allows service providers to offer services to one sex only, for example
men’s or women’s toilets or changing rooms. Transgender people can be excluded from
single-sex facilities if service providers have a legitimate reason for doing so and
if exclusion is the least discriminatory way to proceed.</p><p> </p>
